Hi there!!!
I have several number of metagenomic 16S rRNA gene sequence. Firstly, I want to know the composition (i.e. all the species and strains out there in the metagenome) of the metagenome. Secondly, I will do the functional profiling.

1. Can i use MOTHUR software for the first purpose?
2. What should I do for the second one?

THANK YOU...
